CONVEYANCE EQUIPMENT AND HOT PRESS FORMING DEVICE HAVING IT

摘要

Provided are conveyor apparatus and hot press-forming apparatus comprising the same, when conveying conduction heated work to a downstream process, are capable of preventing or suppressing thermal deformation of the work, as well as simplify positioning of the work at a downstream process. The conveyor apparatus 5 conveys work that was conduction heated at an energizing position P1 to a processing position P2 that is separated from the energizing position P1 in the horizontal direction in order to perform hot press-forming, and comprises: a holding member that freely clamps both end sections in the lengthwise direction of the work that has been conduction heated; a drive mechanism that moves the holding member from at least the energizing position P1 to the processing position P2; and a guide member 54 that extends between the energizing position and the processing position and guides and supports the middle section in the lengthwise direction of the work that has been conduction heated and is being conveyed toward the processing position P2.
